Welcome to the Wednesday (EBD) edition of Late Nite Radio. Tonight PJ Harvey and Nick Cave rework Henry Lee, an old murder ballad about a jilted woman who not only gets the last word in, but gets it in so quickly and forcefully that the number of verses of the song are greatly reduced.
Here are Nick Cave and PJ Harvey in a live performance of Henry Lee.

  1. Did you know that St. Louis columnist Bryan Burwell engages in sex with donkeys? I didn’t either but Burwell claims that Rush Limbaugh is a racist so Mark Steyn is giving him a dose of his own medication. Read the full story here.

  2. Democrat congressional leaders fight against transparency:
    “As Congress lurches closer to a decision on an enormous overhaul of the American health care system, pressure is mounting on legislative leaders to make the final bill available online for citizens to read before a vote.
    “Lawmakers were given just hours to examine the $789 billion stimulus plan, sweeping climate-change legislation and a $700 billion bailout package before final votes.”
    (…)
    “The stimulus bill, for example, was 1,100 pages long and made available to Congress and the public just 13 hours before lawmakers voted on it…”
    “The (Sunlight foundation) has begun an effort to get Congress to post bills online, for all to see, 72 hours before lawmakers vote on them….Nearly every Republican has signed on, but the Democratic leadership is unwilling to cede control over when bills are brought to the floor for votes and are discouraging their rank and file from signing the petition. Senate Democrats voted down a similar measure last week for the health care bill…”

  4. Poor old Suzuki, his reputation will go down the tubes with the whole Global Warming thingy.
    He and it will be but residue on the trash heap of science fraud.
    But then he deserves such an ending to such a politicized career in “science”. Good little champagne socialist that he is.

  5. I’d take CBC’s Bob “snaggletooth Ferengi” McDonald over D.Suzuki anyday for science commentary.
    Kinda like Rex Murphy versus Bob Fife. Rex gives a superior “analytical opinion of the news”, than the so-called “news reporting” political journalist.

  6. This guy takes the global warming crowd to the cleaners !! Gore and Suzuki’s methods no better than Hitler/Gorbel. Finally, someone speaks the truth and the MSM airs it.

  7. Ab premier Ed stelmach pulls a … well … a stelmach:

    I know that a lot of pc party supporters – including MLAS – were touting this tv show as a “just you wait” moment – a moment when this government would change direction dramatically. A lot of them will be pissed-off and it should make for and interesting leadership vote in November.

  8. Sticking to the topic of the posting, this PJ Harvey is one interesting artist albeit a skinny one. Never heard of her until now, just finished watching several music videos of her.

  11. I just heard Dennis Miller’s interview of Irish filmmaker, Phelim McAleer, whose film “Not Evil Just Wrong” is premiering this Sunday. McAleer had a beautiful quote: [paraphrasing] “As a European I was told that all conservative Americans were obsessed with what’s going on in everyone’s bedroom. Yet when I came over here I found that those on the Left are beyond obsessed with what’s going on in every other room in the house!” I’ve prepared the audio for you to listen to here.
    By the way, if anyone in Vancouver is attending the premiere, drop me a line via my blog if you’re interested to join me and my friends who are definitely going. Good people all!

    “Terence Corcoran: Trillion-dollar black holes
    The costs of climate control dwarf the financial crisis
    There is much concern in financial markets about exit strategies. How are central banks and governments going to dig themselves out of their multi-trillion dollar monetary and fiscal stimulus holes? Frankly, it’s too late now to start worrying about that problem, which in any case is easily fixed: tax increases. Far more worthy of attention, before it’s too late, are the new mile-deep spending regimes governments are preparing to cover the cost of new climate change policies. And guess how they will get out of those trenches.
    The green jungle drums are already at full volume in preparation for the Copenhagen climate policy extravaganza, even though the two week negotiation marathon isn’t set to open until Dec. 7. From now till mid-December, our days and nights are going to be filled with dark nightmares of global warming and bright utopian visions of the greatest reordering of economic activity since the industrial revolution — except run in reverse. No citizen of the world will be able to escape the run-up to Copenhagen where, one way or another, catastrophe looms.
    At Copenhagen, the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will attempt to get about 140 nations to approve a new global plan to reduce carbon emissions and, at the same time, engineer a major redistribution of money from developed nations to developing nations. An early draft of the Copenhagen agreement, to replace the collapsing Kyoto Protocol, suggests the focus is as much on redistribution as on carbon reduction, with no guarantee that any of it will have the slightest impact on carbon emissions or the global climate.
    In climate policy circles, trillion-dollar transfers and programs proliferate and, in total, easily overtake the paper losses suffered by financial markets through the 2008 crisis. The International Monetary Fund recently set its estimate of the global losses from the financial crisis for 2007-2010 to be US$3.4-billion. The draft Copenhagen document proposes annual “financial flows” to developing nations of somewhere between $70- and $140-billion. At $140-billion, the ten-year tab would run to $1.4-trillion. But forcing carbon-based energy out of the global economy will take a lot more than that.” (More)

    “Majority of Nobel jury ‘objected to Obama prize
    OSLO — Three of the five members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee had objections to the Nobel Peace Prize being awarded to US President Barack Obama, the Norwegian tabloid Verdens Gang (VG) reported Thursday.
    “VG has spoken to a number of sources who confirmed the impression that a majority of the Nobel committee, at first, had not decided to give the peace prize to Barack Obama,” the newspaper said.” (mOre)

    “He should have turned it down
    Barack Obama simply doesn’t match up to previous Nobel Peace Prize recipients, or indeed many who haven’t won the award
    The Nobel Committee has embarrassed itself, patronized Barack Obama, and demeaned the Peace Prize. In choosing activism, it risks setbacks to the pet causes it champions.
    There have been other eyebrow-raising laureates: those who waged war (Henry Kissinger, 1973), others tainted with terrorism (Yasser Arafat, 1994), and still others whose contributions to peace were tenuous (planting millions of trees). More Nobel prizes have been awarded for solving the Middle East conflict than any other, yet many more, one suspects, remain to be given in that accursed theatre.
    With the award to Obama, the prize crosses the line from dubious or questionable to risible. Premature doesn’t even begin to cover it. Gasps of incredulity have alternated with snorts of derision, including among Obama admirers and supporters, who are starting to fret over his compromises on core promises and values. It devalues the work of most previous laureates, turns the prize itself into a joke, provides handy ammunition to Obama’s domestic opponents while embarrassing many supporters, and risks making progress on several of his worthwhile initiatives more difficult.”

    *Barack Obama – Narcissist or Merely Narcissistic?”
    “The “small people”, the “rank and file”, the “loyal soldiers” of the narcissist – his flock, his nation, his employees – they pay the price. The disillusionment and disenchantment are agonizing. The process of reconstruction, of rising from the ashes, of overcoming the trauma of having been deceived, exploited and manipulated – is drawn-out. It is difficult to trust again, to have faith, to love, to be led, to collaborate. Feelings of shame and guilt engulf the erstwhile followers of the narcissist. This is his sole legacy: a massive post-traumatic stress disorder.”

  22. A “No Irish Need Apply” sign has been spotted.
    Baltimore may need a new mayor as the current one might be going to prison. The president of the local chapter of the NAACP had this to say: “Our concern is who would the governor appoint?” Cheatham said. “Here you have a predominantly African-American city. What if the governor appointed somebody white? … Would he appoint someone Irish to be the mayor?”

    “Cons fight for smokes
    The rule prohibiting inmates from smoking in federal prisons is being contested by 19 Quebec prisoners who believe the regulation contravenes their civil rights.
    The inmates, who are represented by lawyer Julius Grey and are serving sentences of more than two years, appeared in federal court in Montreal yesterday to present their case.
    “I think it would be an exaggeration to think that the rules (surrounding smoking) in prisons are laws,” said Grey, adding that laws of that type would go against the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.”

    Following last week’s movement upward in the polls, Canada’s federal Conservatives have solidified an impressive, potentially majority-producing lead among Canadians, with the Liberals now mired at the same historic lows under Michael Ignatieff that they suffered under former leader Stephane Dion,” Ekos President Frank Graves stated.”

    “Ignatieff, Obama and a renewed `politics of hope’
    A year ago yesterday, Canadians headed to the polls without much enthusiasm and voted to give the uninspiring Stephen Harper a second minority government while rejecting Stéphane Dion, the equally lacklustre Liberal leader.
    At exactly the same time, Barack Obama was thrilling audiences across America and around the world with his presidential campaign of hope and change. A month later, Obama swept to victory and since then has continued to motivate people both at home and abroad with his message of hope.”
    “Sadly though, it is increasingly popular in political circles, especially among right-wing pundits, to dismiss Canadians who talk of “hope” as hopelessly naïve. Cynics also love to describe the slogan “the politics of hope” as vacuous.

  27. “All they’ve done is paint the pig a different colour.”
    Stimulus spending just Tories ‘bringing home the bacon’
    By STEPHEN MAHER Ottawa Bureau
    Thu. Oct 15 – 4:46 AM
    OTTAWA — A pattern of heavy spending in Conservative ridings uncovered in a Chronicle Herald analysis of federal stimulus spending is just business as usual, part of a long bipartisan pattern of using tax dollars for political gain, say political observers.
    The analysis, compiled from public federal records, showed that federal spending under the Conservative government’s federal action plan is heavily focused on Tory ridings. For example, more money is being spent in the province’s three Conservative ridings than the other eight ridings put together.
    “Old style politics is all about bringing home the bacon,” said Kevin Gaudet of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
    “All they’ve done is paint the pig a different colour.”
    Nothing new here, said Charles Cirtwill, of the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies.
    “The Liberals did this for years and the Conservatives sat outside and pointed fingers and raged and pulled their hair,” he said. “And now the Liberals are doing the same thing. The only folks who are really consistent are the NDP, and that’s primarily because at the federal level they’ve never had a chance to pass out the dough.”
    …Librano or Con, it’s the same old song….
    The nation suffers, and the kleptocrats feed their team the good stuff.

  30. So what’s up ? Olbermann, in a hate filled rant, calling a nice, smart lady a bag of meat !! (He is really going to get it from the feminists .. any day now.)

    Fox …. 61%
    CNN …. 18%
    MSNBC .. 19%

    “Obama Plummets Among Youth Over Jobs
    The love affair between Barack Obama and young Americans may be on the rocks. Recently released figures from the Department of Labor reveal staggeringly high joblessness numbers among America’s youth. Indeed, 53.4 percent of young Americans are without a job – a post-World War II high.
    With over half of 16-24 year olds jobless, even after stimulus package after stimulus package supposedly meant to create jobs, one has to wonder how Barack Obama’s approval ratings are doing among his strongest supporters. Unsurprisingly, the answer is “worse.” According to Gallup, approval of President Obama among young adults aged 18 to 29 fell 11 points this summer. While the President’s approval ratings have fallen recently among all age groups, this drop was the sharpest decline of any age demographic.”
